Retro High Score Name Field

This plugin allows you to add a retro style high score name text field to your game. The player uses his / her keyboard to switch each character to the desired letter of the alphabet to make up his / her name.

Plugin Demo: http://www.joylabs.co.za/html5/plugins/retroname

A demo app is included in the attached zip, you just need to copy your impact lib folder into the demo's lib folder.

I plan on adding support for mobile devices at a later stage.

Usage is really simple:
Include the entity in your module requires: 'game.entities.retrohighscorenamefield'

In your games init function spawn an instance of the entity by passing in two different fonts and the number of characters you need and then save the object returned so that you can ask it for the name later.
